L&E Research was founded by Lynne Eggers and opened its doors in 1984 as a field research company, offering focus group qualitative research recruiting and field intercept services.

An active member in the qualtitative and quantitative market research community, Lynne and her husband, Ed, later partnered to expand her business to include focus group facilities and an ever-growing database in the Raleigh focus group research market. They built a business whose foundation was premised on these simple bedrock principles of Focus Group Qualitative Research: great recruiting, great recruiting, and great recruiting. Along with superior attention to details and exemplary service, L&E Research grew into one of the largest focus group companies in North Carolina.

In 2004, L&E Research assumed the focus group division of Management Research and Planning Corp. (MRP) and introduced Brett Watkins, Vice President of MRP, as President and General Manager of L&E Research. Coupling MRP’s expertise in Business-to-Business and non-database recruiting with the traditional database recruiting services of L&E Research, we have greatly expanded our Raleigh focus group research recruiting capabilities to meet our clients’ needs.

In 2005, we have focused on expanding our great recruiting capabilities. Our focus group qualitative research recruiting, already renowned by being “top rated” by Impulse Survey four years running, will only continue to improve as we focus on bringing you the best participants possible.

Our database is already immense, and we are going to make it even bigger. Our goal is to triple our database by 2007 by getting 10% of the Raleigh area to sign up for L&E Research focus group studies. We also have a voluminous children’s panel, and have just completed a massive database initiative to expand our doctor’s database to better serve the pharmaceutical and medical research requirements of our clients. As we expand our database and incorporate the latest technologies to reach more and more of the Internet connected Raleigh market, the types of qualitative or quantitative market research studies you can do with L&E Research will almost be limitless.

New facilities are another improvement we made at L&E Research in 2005, and they are as nice as any you will find in the country. We moved into our new home February 4th, with three focus group rooms and one “mini” group or 1x1 room. We invite you to take a tour to see for yourself just how nice our facilities are.

Great recruiting and great service is the standard L&E Research has set in the Raleigh focus group research market for over two decades and, with our new facilities, you will not find a better focus group qualitative research partner anywhere in the Southeast. We guarantee it.
